Frequently Asked Questions About Toilets & Urinals
What are the different types of toilets and urinals, and how do I choose the right one for my bathroom or facility?
Toilets come in various types, including standard gravity-flush, pressure-assist, and dual-flush toilets. Urinals also have different styles and flushing mechanisms. The choice depends on factors like water efficiency, space constraints, and the specific requirements of your bathroom or facility.
How can I troubleshoot common issues with toilets, like clogs or running water, and when should I call a plumber?
To troubleshoot common toilet issues, start by using a plunger for clogs, check the flapper and fill valve for running water, and inspect the flush handle and chain for flushing problems. If you can't resolve the issue with simple fixes, or if there's a severe leak or damage, it's best to call a plumber to avoid further damage.
What are water-saving or low-flow toilets and urinals, and what are their benefits?
Water-saving or low-flow toilets and urinals are designed to reduce water consumption. They use less water per flush, which can result in significant water savings and reduced utility bills. These fixtures are also more environmentally friendly, as they help conserve water resources.
